Let's solve this
"Classify and Illustrate" worksheet step by step.
🌿 Instructions Recap:
-
Herbivore: Draw a
leaf → eats only plants.
-
Carnivore: Draw
meat → eats only meat.
-
Omnivore: Draw
both leaf and meat → eats both plants and animals.

We'll classify each animal based on its diet:
---
✔ Herbivores (Leaf Only)
These animals eat only plant-based food.
1.
Rabbit – Eats grass, carrots, hay →
✔ Herbivore
2.
Goat – Eats grass, leaves, shrubs →
✔ Herbivore
3.
Giant Panda – Mostly eats bamboo →
✔ Herbivore *(Note: Though it’s a bear, it's primarily herbivorous)*
4.
Sloth – Eats leaves →
✔ Herbivore
5.
Kangaroo – Eats grasses and foliage →
✔ Herbivore
6.
Rhino – Eats grass, leaves, fruits →
✔ Herbivore
7.
Hippopotamus – Eats grass →
✔ Herbivore
8.
Skunk – Wait! Skunks eat insects, small animals, and plants →
✘ Not herbivore
- Actually, skunks are
omnivores.
9.
Hedgehog – Eats insects, worms, fruits →
✘ Omnivore
10.
Elephant – Eats grass, bark, fruit →
✔ Herbivore
✔ So,
Herbivore animals:
- Rabbit
- Goat
- Giant panda
- Sloth
- Kangaroo
- Rhinoceros

- Elephant
✘ Skunk and
hedgehog are
not herbivores.

✘ Omnivore
✔ So,
Carnivore animals:

🥗🥩 Omnivores (Leaf + Meat)
These animals eat both plants and animals.
1.

✔ Omnivore
3.

✔ Omnivore
4.
Skunk – Insects, berries, eggs, small animals →

✔ Omnivore animals:
- Hyena
- Chipmunk
- Squirrel
- Skunk
